IndyCar: Newman/Haas, Ganassi teams protest New Hampshire race result

Protests filed by Newman/Haas Racing and Target Chip Ganassi Racing over the posted results of last weekend's IndyCar race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway will be heard by the sanctioning body.

IndyCar has 14 days from the filing of the written protests to hear them.

The teams protesting believe their drivers--Oriol Servia and Scott Dixon, respectively--passed race leader Ryan Hunter-Reay after race control called for a green flag but before it reconsidered.

IndyCar chief steward Brian Barnhart decided that the finishing results would be based on the positions of the cars before the green flag was ordered. Barnhart said he made a mistake calling for green amid wet conditions.

Hunter-Reay was awarded the victory, the fifth of his career. Servia was given second place, with Dixon third.
